Vehayz acted as first officer aboard the USS Determination early in the year under CommanderElizabeth Singh's command on the New Bolarus mission. After an encounter with a Vendothscout ship, damaging the Determination and forcing her to New Bolarus's surface, she took command from an injured and unconscious Singh. Under her leadership, the Determination crew rescued several dozen colonists from the surface, taking the severely damaged ship to a low orbit to be rescued by the Cantabrian-A.
